Planet Ignis
"I will burn my warmth for the greater heat."
An epic space opera adventure that will spin the imagination of fans of strange alien societies, pyrokinetic mutants, and chess.
The settlers of planet Ignis are barely making it. The inhospitable environment is an unforgiving enemy. They have only lasted this long by working together and sacrificing their life span for the greater good.
Panic sets in when one of their settlements suddenly goes dark. Dealing with whatever is hunting them while surviving the harsh conditions seems beyond the stranded spacefarers.
In these dark times, a prodigy is born. If nurtured, Eli is a fragile ember that will become a blazing fire that can burn the ancient evil away. Eli must give his all in the collegium and master his mutation to save everything he loves.
Follow Eli's journey as he works shoulder to shoulder with the legendary teacher, Trother, and with the reds, oranges, yellows, and the blue king of the Fahrenheit tribe.
Will Eli rise to become the hero his settlement needs him to be? Will he have the determination and courage that his fellow men require from him? Will he vanish the ancient evil that threatens their fragile existence?
Planet Ignis brings you a standalone novel that mixes science fiction and fantasy. This dystopian novel with chess game-lit elements will be the perfect match for fans of Ender's Game, Red Rising, or Star Wars.
Read along if you like chess, tribal societies, superpowers, and clever characters. This novel is appropriate for readers of all ages.

A book that ignites the imaginative flames in your heart...
'Ignis' by Cássio Ferreira is a science fiction novel like many others. It is a vessel through which you can travel to a whole different world with its own unique culture. In terms of science fiction, it is a light read, but newcomers to the genre might be intimated by its many science fiction concepts that may seem alien to them... as is intended.
Don't feel intimidated by this book's many sci-fi concepts though, because at its core lies an intimate tale of personal growth and awakening of one's flame when faced with an arduous task and newfound responsibility.
For a debut novel, Ferreira's use of the English language and imaginative use of fire-related words impress in the way they keep you invested in the book and make for a very entertaining quick read that will take you about 8 hours.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any science fiction lovers and, personally, I'll be looking forward to whatever otherworldly story this author is cooking up next.

The narrative of the book reminds me a bit of Lord of Light by Zelazny, or Roadside Picnic by Strugatsky. There are lapses between moments that you have to piece together. The class system also made me think of Red Rising by Pierce Brown.
It is a very light read. I did it in two sittings. I thought it was quite refreshing and wholesome. There are many concepts and the mentor/mentee relationship of the main characters was quite interesting.

Ignis: Once My Fire Is Out, What I Forged Remains
is a science-fiction story that should be read in a fairly short amount of time—it took me five days in total. Why is that? Because its level of complexity—though fairly attainable after a while—can only be overcome if you're able to recall what you've read before. (Maybe, if you're a genius in science or even an experienced gamer—being familiar with this whole logic of how fantasy characters usually develop their superhuman abilities—you might wonder what kind of "complexity" I'm talking about...)
I'd say that this book focuses more on introducing a concept than on telling a story—which is basically what you're in for when you watch Nolan's Interstellar or Tenet. How does mankind adapt to living in a planet where there's no water, food, or fuel? How do they make their bodies work in such an environment? How do they keep their humanity under such inhospitable circumstances? That's what Ignis: Once My Fire Is Out, What I Forged Remains will explain you, spending the rest of its time telling you the story of two main characters—a master and an apprentice. It's a relationship that will remind you of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, if you're into Star Wars. But, in this case, you'll dwelve much deeper into the ongoing training process that happens throughout the entire novel, as Oli, a kind of Messiah figure, gradually develops impressive skills that will enable him to face a civilization-threatening enemy.
Don't allow yourself to be intimidated by the opening chapters of the book. The reason why I'm telling you this is that you'll be introduced to an overwhelming number of characters, abilities, locations, and alien concepts. At times, the world-building process that the author puts you through will remind you of Tolkien's descriptions of Middle-earth, in The Lord of the Rings. In other words, it might be a bit hard for you to filter what is really relevant or not to retain, so that you're able to enjoy the story to its full. But know this: if you're able to endure those first chapters, you'll realize that the rest of the novel is much easier to follow. You'll be in for a ride.
Ignis: Once My Fire Is Out, What I Forged Remains will give you a little bit of everything you enjoy as a sci-fi lover: alien worlds, superhuman action, futuristic technology, and, in the core of it all, a lot of heart.

Loved the setting and world-building. Felt like old-school Isaac Asimov sci-fi where the characters exist for the plot rather than the other way around, but very well-plotted and thought out and compelling nonetheless.

So far, it reads like a teenager's first attempt at a post apocalyptic world; with a 'super special' protagonist that is some sort of 'chosen one', a cast system that separates everyone into color groups based off abilities/lifespan, and human evolution by exposure to some maguffin. Still reading it. Cannot promise I will finish it.
